Clary Sage and its powerful essential oil supports euphoria, sensuality, womanhood and cyclical wisdom. How’s that for a bold statement about an essential oil?

A different title for this episode could be: "Exploring Clary Sage through molecules, music, and the slow fire of feminine truth."

This episode explores Clary Sage’s bold personality—earthy, euphoric, and sensual—through its aromatic molecules, story and synesthetic sound. Featuring @olfactorysounds’ musical interpretation, you’re invited to experience this aromatic beyond the textbook. What does Clary Sage feel like? What does empowered stillness sound like? What can we do, globally, to honor and respect half of the human population?

Join me in this refection on menstruation, moon days, and honoring natural cycles rather than overriding them. Clary Sage is a guide for tuning into body-time, sensual energy—an aromatic ally reminding us that womanhood is not a set of fragmented roles, but a full, embodied rhythm.

Lunar cycles are sacred. Sensuality is wise. Initiation rites matter. Lilith meets Hekate. Medusa and Athena become one. These archetypes don’t compete—they merge, whole and wild, ready to rewrite the narrative. We remember: womanhood cries out in pain when it is not respected. Supported womanhood is rhythmic, sensual and discerning. Grounded and luminous. It is something to work with, not against.

Get your bottle of Clary Sage essential oil and settle in, breathe deep, and join me. To smell is to feel—to remember, not only memories, but the body’s holistic wisdom.

This episode explores Chamomile’s personality through aromatic molecules, sound, and the wisdom of not doing.

How do we come to know German Chamomile—not just as a calming aromatic, but as a companion with personality, rhythm, and message? In this episode, we explore the quiet intelligence of German Chamomile through scent, sound, and reflective pause. You’re invited to meet Chamomile beyond “this is good for that,” and instead experience what Chamomile feels like—what its stillness sounds like.

Once again, we’re joined by the synesthetic soundscapes of Yuliana Kireyeva, who transforms aromatic essence into auditory impressions. Through musical-sound, storytelling, shared correspondence, and a minimalist free-verse progression, we consider what it means to not do, and how Chamomile whispers to both children and adults alike: You can let go now. Prepare your tea or essential oil, find a quiet moment, and join me for this reflective, sensory meditation. To smell is, after all, to feel and to be.

How can we meet an aromatic plant and its essential oil on a deeper level beyond chemical constituents, reading reference books and a “this is good for that” viewpoint?

This episode, and new series, considers the qualitative appreciation of aromatic plants and their essential oils. For instance, what do Lavender’s qualities sound like, feel like?

You guessed it, this episode features Lavender...

Explore how Lavender transforms into sound through the synesthetic talent of Yuliana Kireyeva. Further inspired by the evocative works of James McNeill Whistler and the gentle melodies of Erik Satie, you’re invited to feel the qualitative nature, the personality, of Lavender. Look forward to a guided body scan accompanied by Satie’s Gymnopédie no. 1.

And remember, to smell is to feel.
